What do you think of your chances? Bulls should be healthy, that is this year healthy (without Rose). Rose is possible but i doubt it, and i'm not even sure at this point he makes them better working out kinks from a torn ACL. Nets should be relatively healthy, although JJ's plantar fascitis will hurt him a little going forward.

Every game except one has been decided by a possession or two. You would think that the Nets talent would be better suited to close out close games over the Bulls star-less, role player oriented players but the Bulls defense puts the Nets in too many awkward situations. I think the Bulls would beat the Nets in 7 games but I still need to have faith in my team.

Either way it wont be an easy trip to the 2nd round. I can see the series going to at least 6 games or even 7. The Nets havent played a playoffs game for a while, its possible they drop a home game and the series will be 1-1 going to the other team's homecourt. I am confident that the Nets will still pull it off, especially if its the Hawks, but lets not get comfy yet. The team has tons of work to do, also PJ Carlesimo is looking more and more mediocre to me nowadays whatever way you see him.
